A Specific Role for eNOS-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species in Atherosclerosis Progression

Abstract

In contrast to vitamin C treatment, augmenting BH4 levels in the endothelium by GCH overexpression reduced the accelerated atherosclerotic lesion formation in ApoE-KO/eNOS-Tg mice, associated with a reduction of superoxide production from uncoupled eNOS.
